Information Stephanie E. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specials needs, is not house trained, and if they have any allergies. This ensures I can provide them with the best care.

A typical day

Every pet is unique, and I strive to keep their routine as close to home as possible. I work closely with owners to understand their pet’s schedule, preferences, and needs—whether that means morning walks, meal times, play sessions, or quiet rest periods. A typical day in my care is filled with patience, love, and plenty of attention. For dogs, this may include outdoor play in my fenced yard, neighborhood walks, enrichment activities, and cuddle time. For cats and other pets, I provide gentle companionship, play, and a stress-free environment that respects their personality and comfort level. Above all, my goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether they thrive on structure or prefer a more relaxed day, I adapt to their needs to make their time with me as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Loving care when you can't be there

Pet care experience

I have a lifelong love for animals and 15 years of experience caring for pets. I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior and compassionate care to every pet I meet. I grew up with animals and currently have a three-year-old dog whom I trained myself, making me confident in basic obedience training. I have hands-on experience with dogs, including basic training, socialization, and understanding canine body language. I’ve also cared for multiple cats and appreciate their independent yet affectionate nature. From playtime and snuggles to maintaining feeding routines and administering medication when needed, I strive to make every pet feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—with kindness, respect, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs active engagement, gentle companionship, or a structured routine, I’m here to provide the care they deserve.

Bear & Suki were so happy to see Stephanie again and once again, she took excellent care of them and our home! Great communication and had complete peace of mind while we were out of town.

We were so happy with the care Stephanie provided for our two high-energy dogs, who also have a bit of separation anxiety. They felt comfortable with her right away, which gave us great peace of mind. This was our first time leaving them with a pet sitter, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. When we returned, our dogs were excited to see us but also calm, happy, and content, a clear sign that they had been well cared for. Stephanie sent daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated, and her communication throughout was excellent. She also left our home in great condition. We would absolutely trust Stephanie with our dogs (and house) again and highly recommend her to others!
